GOOD IDEAS ALTER THE BALANCE IN RELATIONSHIPS. THAT IS WHY GOOD IDEAS ARE ALWAYS INITIALLY RESISTED.
At which point should we let go and do what we want to do, and when should we submit to rules? Coming to terms with our true natures and who we really are has always been a fascination to humans. I know it fascinates me.
Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street.
I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work.
I got hooked on espresso when I visited Italy at 18, but these days I prefer a 'flat white.' It's like a small latte with less milk - they're popular in Australia.
great ... I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something. I don't know if my agent was particularly thrilled about the 12-month contract I've signed, but still. It's thrilling. It's such a dream to go to Broadway and do the first Australian musical ever to go there, and playing a character who I have huge, huge admiration for. So, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm probably more excited about that than I've been in a while.
To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.
I would love to have a robot at home.
You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.
My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
Giving people a hand up, not a handout, is the way forward.
If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument.
With age, you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.
